The PNS helps to maintain internal balance, or "homeostasis," by the Parasympathetic division of the Autonomic Nervous System (ANS). Sometimes referred to as the "rest and digest" system, the Parasympathetics keep our internal activities regular throughout the day and night, such as a steady heart rate, slow breathing, digestion of food, filtration of blood, and excretion of wastes.

Answer:

The H1N1 virus replicates quickly.

Explanation:

The H1N1 virus replicates quickly, which is why it is of high importance that an antiviral agent is administrated within the first 48 hours so that the reproduction rate of the virus can be lowered, resulting in an effective treatment against H1N1 flu.
